    The glasses and cabinets are symbols. I tried turning on the ambient light and it turned everything really dark. There are lights in the soffit of the cabinets that are cutting out the shadows on the floor. I also tired the point lights in the middle of the room but that didn't work at all with the mirrors. I'll play wiht the final gather some and see what I get.

    All the frame are simple extrusions colored black so they can be seen. The shadows are only turn on in a few lights. Lighting the ceiling has been a big problem. I had to make it reflect light or it will render black. How do you change the max reflections of an object?

    I attached a rendering of a Eye Clinic frame room which I know has all the things that make renderings slow. It has a ton of light sorces, lots of mirrors, lots of small objects, and it needs to be high resolution. This rendering took over 3 hours and is almost 9 megs. I'm looking for any way possible to speed it up and keep the quality. 2008 Vectorworks/Renderworks Windows XP 2 Duo CPU @2.22GHz 3.48 GB RAM

    Ok maybe I should reword this. Can Vectorwork output a sharper / more realistic image then what I already have? Or do I need another program to do that?

    I'm not even worrying about the lighting yet. How do you render in a sheet layout? I've made the viewport on the sheet and set it to Final Quality Renderworks but when I go to View/Rendering, everything is grayed out. I can go export from there but it saves at the screen resolution.

    Yep, there too. Attached is the best I've got it too.

    I've been playing with the rending settings for the past two days and all I get is bad to worse. I've cranked up the Resolution px/in setting from 72 to 1200 and didn't do much. I've enlarged the area being rendered. I've tried about every combination of custom renderworks options. Every quality setting I can find is set to Very High. I've tried different file formats. I can't get a defined edge on anything being rendered. It's all blurry when zoomed in on and doesn't look real. I'm running out of options to change and nothing is working.

    I already did that and I found the export to HDRI and it looks worse then before.

    I'm new at this. What is an HDRI? Also I'm not rendering threw a sheet layer. I'm setting up a batch render, its giving me a better quality but it still isn't very realistic looking.
  10. What settings should I use in the batch rendering to get the sharpest and clearest exterior rendering of an entire building? VW 2008 Architect & RenderWork Windows XP
